Indonesian President Joko Widodo said in a state address on Tuesday that the nation is actively involved in resolving the territorial conflicts in the South China Sea.

Last month, an arbitration court in the Hague rejected China's vast territorial claims in the disputed waters and said that those claims have no legal basis. The verdict was in favour of the Philippines that showed the country's sovereign rights there.
